Samuel117 Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 I took my brother for his second flight ever. He came from Cuba two weeks ago and is discovering the world. I took him on the Drifter on the front seat. After we landed I took him around Tamiami airport. He saw this airplane and wanted to take a picture with the helmet. "This is how I felt while flying the Drifter" he said. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farri Posted June 4, 2016 Author Share Posted June 4, 2016 Here some pictures from last Monday. It was Memorial Day and we could not let it pass. Our respect and admiration to the brave men who died defending the freedom we enjoy today. Let's not forget the past so we don't have to suffer it again. Goodonya Samuel! Beautiful photos!!!!

farri Posted June 13, 2016 Author Share Posted June 13, 2016 Yesterday, was a special day! My good friend, Bob Pagett (Rotary Man,on here), his partner June and friends of theirs, Barry and Denise Smith, all from Sydney and in Cairns for the weekend, came in to catch up with Frances and me! Bob, obtained his AUF pilot certificate, in my Drifter way back when I was instructing! Blames me for catching the flying bug and went on to be a commercial Helicopter pilot and instructor, running his own flying school, for several years, out of Cairns aerodrome. This is Bob and June. Barry and Denise. I met Barry, for the first time yesterday! He decided he may never get the opportunity again to have a fly in a Drifter, so, with a break in the bad weather, I took him up! First time in an Ultralight! Frank. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samuel117 Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 Hey Samuel!....You go up almost as fast as I do!!! ....Beautiful place you`re flying from....Fran and I are happy for you also...Keep the photos coming. Frank, The angle of climb looks impressive but it is not so. Really it is a combination of doing a Zoom climb for the pictures and the angle at which the camera was placed. As soon as I passed that point I had to not only level but to dive a little to keep flying. Keep the great job of taking up passengers and increasing the great reputation the Drifter deserves. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
